- Seating or standing room near the truck
- Power and water, confirmed with each booking

Food truck hire in Petteridge, from our food truck or trailer
Our drinks bar can be hired with the truck for margaritas, Mexican beer and aguas frescas. A build-your-own taco bar can sit beside the truck too. At engagements and anniversaries and private outdoor parties, we will put together a menu of burrito bowls, loaded nachos and tacos from the hatch and more.
In a rural place like Petteridge, access is the main thing to plan for a hired truck: gate widths, soft ground and the route from the road all matter. We confirm power and water arrangements with you. We arrive ready to serve, and clear our own area when service is finished.
What’s on the menu
Tacos from the hatch
A taco is ideal food from a truck, and corn tortillas suit gluten-free guests.
Quesadillas
Crisp tortillas folded round melted cheese, cut into wedges.
Planning for every diet
Dietary needs are easy to plan for with a little notice. We suggest:
- Ask about parking rules if we’ll be on a road
- Confirm the venue accepts outside caterers and vehicles
- Walk the access route and note narrow gaps
- Flag any coeliac guests
We arrive in the agreed window and park where we have arranged. Someone on site to meet us makes it smoother.
Quesadillas make an easy option for children, if you’d like a kids’ choice.
Your questions about food truck hire in Petteridge
Can we hire your food truck for a private party in Petteridge?
Yes, as long as we are available on the date and can get the truck or trailer in. Tell us about the lane, gates, ground and parking.
Can you bring a truck or trailer to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles, ground and catering, so check with yours. Tell us about narrow lanes and soft ground.
Do you take everything away?
We pack down and tidy our own area after service. Ask us if you’d like help with anything else.
Is the food very hot?
The food can be kept mild, and hotter salsas go on the side for guests who like heat.
When do you arrive?
We get there well before service to set up. Serving times are agreed with you in advance, along with pack-down.
How many guests can you serve?
Truck and trailer service normally suits around 50 to 400 guests. Smaller parties are quoted case by case, and festivals can be larger. Tell us your numbers.
Do you do parties at home?
That depends on access. A drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission, if the garden itself is out of reach. Send us a picture and we will talk it through.
What about power on site?
It depends on the event and the set-up, and we agree power and water with you before the day. Let us know whether there is a supply near where we will park.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues have rules for outside caterers: where vehicles can park, access times and the paperwork they need. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll follow them.
Throwing a party at home? Send us a picture of the space and tell us about the drive and gates, and we will let you know if it’s a good fit.
